Chinese Acrobats at the Heymann Center

Front row folks: hold onto your hats! The National Circus and Acrobats of the People's Republic of China are coming to the Heymann Performing Arts Center.

Founded in 1953, The National Circus is one of the most distinguished circus troupes in China, known internationally for producing shows in a distinctive Chinese national style. 7:30 pm Monday at 1373 South College Road. $20–$50 tickets available from Ticketmaster.
